Madrid's Sol Metro station reopens after safety checks confirm clean conditions

Madrid's Sol Metro station reopened around 10:00 PM tonight, with trains stopping again after analyses confirmed that necessary safety and health conditions have been objectively restored, according to Metro de Madrid. Metro de Madrid announced the reopening on X, noting that measurements to guarantee optimal safety and health conditions in Sol had concluded around 2:00 PM. The station had closed Friday for cleaning due to "unsanitary conditions" linked to a 21-day housing protest camp in Puerta del Sol. The Cercanías commuter rail station in the same plaza remained operational throughout the closure. The reopening follows the regional government's assessment that the camp had caused the insalubrity prompting the temporary shutdown.
